After lunch the next day, Li Tao stopped Chu Luo downstairs.

“Chu Luo, are you really going to challenge Xu Yanqing?”

Chu Luo nodded. “Yes.”

Li Tao stared at Chu Luo. He felt that he couldn’t just watch as she suffered a blow. He said, “Xu Yanqing has been in the top three of our batch for a long time. Do you think that you can really beat him just by doing well once? Moreover, Xu Yanqing has a vicious mouth. If you lose…”

“I won’t lose.” Chu Luo interrupted him and frowned unhappily. “Move aside.”

Li Tao subconsciously stepped aside.

Chu Luo continued walking.

Li Tao thought for a moment and quickly followed.

When she and Li Tao walked to the office door, they realized that all the teachers were there.

Xu Yanqing was standing in Teacher Li’s cubicle, and the two of them were talking in low voices.

Li Tao frowned and said to Chu Luo in a hushed tone, “Chu Luo, think carefully. There are so many teachers here. Teacher Li and Xu Yanqing must be doing it on purpose.”

Chu Luo smiled. “It’s better to have more people.”

With that, she walked in.

The moment Teacher Li saw Chu Luo, she deliberately raised her voice and said to Xu Yanqing, “You guys can compete in any subject later. Don’t delay your revision.”

Xu Yanqing nodded confidently. “Teacher, don’t worry. One and a half hours is enough to do a set of papers.”

Old Gao, who had been sitting at the side, saw Chu Luo come in and hurriedly waved at her. “Chu Luo, come here.”

Chu Luo walked closer and greeted him, “Teacher Gao.”

Old Gao nodded. Thinking of Teacher Li’s words, he also said deliberately, “When you are doing the questions later, take note of the time and submit it earlier if you can.”

“Alright, Teacher.”

Chu Luo and Old Gao’s conversation made Teacher Li and Xu Yanqing sneer in their hearts.

Xu Yanqing said to Chu Luo arrogantly, “My time is very precious. Let’s start the competition now.”

“Sure.”

“Which subject? You’re a girl, I’ll let you choose.”

“English.” She did English slower than the other subjects. She would just take this chance to practice more questions to increase her speed a little more.

“What papers?”

“The college entrance mock examination papers.”

“Okay.”

After agreeing on that, they walked to the two desks that were specially prepared for them and sat down.

There was no shortage of mock papers in the office. An English teacher printed out two copies and handed them to the two of them. “These are Xgang College Entrance Examination mock papers. Ninety minutes is a little tight. Good luck, both of you.”

Chu Luo took the paper and thanked her.

Old Gao took a look at the time. “It’s 12:20 now. We’ll end at 1:50. Let’s begin.”

Both of them worked through the questions at a fast speed. As soon as Old Gao announced the start, they started writing at the same time.

The teachers standing at the side stared at them.

Only Teacher Li sat there with a confident look on her face as she brewed a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

At 1:25, Old Gao suddenly said to Li Tao, who was standing beside him, “I say, Student Li Tao, can’t you look at your watch less frequently?”

Li Tao put down his hand and said, “It’s just habit.”

Old Gao glanced at him. “It’s still early. If I’m not worried. What are you worried about?”

After saying that, he pointed to his desk and instructed him, “Go and make me a pot of tea. The teabags are in the drawer in the middle of the desk.”

Li Tao glanced at Chu Luo and was a little unwilling to obey.

Old Gao pushed him with a displeased look.

Only then did Li Tao reluctantly walk over to make tea for him.

Just as he finished brewing the tea and walked over, Chu Luo suddenly put down her pen and stood up.

He subconsciously asked, “Chu Luo, what are you doing?”

“I’m done.”

After saying that, Chu Luo left her seat.

Xu Yanqing, who was working on the last essay, paused when he heard this. He sneered and said, “We’re not competing on speed, we’re competing on marks.”

Chu Luo glanced at him and said indifferently, “I’m competing not only in points but also in speed.”

These words made Xu Yanqing’s expression turn ugly. Just as he was about to mock Chu Luo, Chu Luo suddenly asked Li Tao, who was standing beside him, “How long more until the end?”

Li Tao raised his wrist. “There’s still ten minutes.”

Chu Luo smiled at Xu Yanqing in a provocative manner.

Xu Yanqing gripped his pen tightly and snorted coldly at her before continuing to answer the questions.

At this moment, several English teachers walked over at the same time to pick up Chu Luo’s papers and began to mark them.

Li Tao suddenly walked over and stood beside them. Every time a teacher finished marking a section, he would report loudly:

“All listening test questions are correct.”

“All fill-in-the-blank questions are correct.”

“…”

Only when they reached the essay question did Li Tao stop.

Chu Luo looked at Xu Yanqing.

Xu Yanqing could feel her gaze on him, and he suddenly became anxious.

When there were only three minutes left, Xu Yanqing slammed down his pen and stood up. “I’m done too.”

Teacher Li walked over to take his papers and passed them to the English teachers. “Quickly, take a look at Xu Yanqing’s papers.”

A few teachers took the papers and quickly started to mark them.

The first few questions were all correct, but when it came to the second to last essay question, the teacher who was in charge of marking the paper made a cross.

Xu Yanqing and Teacher Li widened their eyes in disbelief and raised their voices.

“How is that possible? How could I have made a mistake on that question?”

“Did you see wrongly?”

At this moment, Old Gao gave a fake cough and deliberately asked, “Teachers, are you done marking Chu Luo’s last question?”

A teacher replied in surprise, “I’m done marking it. Chu Luo got full marks.”

Xu Yanqing and Teacher Li’s expressions changed at the same time. “How is that possible!”

Old Gao went over to take Chu Luo’s paper and waved it in front of Teacher Li. “The facts speak louder than words. Teacher Li, look at the facts clearly.”

After which, he called out to Chu Luo and Li Tao. “Let’s go to class.”

Chu Luo walked in front of Xu Yanqing and looked at him coldly. “You lost.”

Xu Yanqing’s face instantly turned ashen, as if he had been dealt a heavy blow.

Li Tao, who was walking at the back, patted his shoulder in schadenfreude and mercilessly added, “Brother, it feels good to be slapped in the face, right?”

The red-faced Xu Yanqing glared fiercely at Li Tao. A string of curses flashed across his mind.
